Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles raises the bar with the latest premium pick-up vehicle, the Amarok. The vehicle is especially designed in order to deliver outstanding performance, smooth ride and overall boosted pleasure of driving. Robust and reliable, the latest pick-up vehicle adopts the power of a new 3.0-liter V6 diesel power unit with tons of horsepower and 550Nm of torque and the agility of a manual or special 8-speed automatic gearbox for reduced revs and enhanced fuel efficiency.

Furthermore, the Amarok will be available with three engine options: a 163hp (120kW), a 205hp (150kW) and the top performing 224hp (165kW). Of course, all engines meet all the Euro 6 emission standards and deliver smooth and rewarding driving experience.

Also, there are three different drive-system options in line with the respective engine variants: the vehicle can be specified with traditional rear-wheel drive, 4MOTION with rear-wheel drive and an engagable front axle in combination with manual gearbox, or the permanent AWD system with Torsen differential and 8-speed automatic transmission.

The Amarok also demonstrates more athletic and muscular stance and welcomes driver and passengers to a rather refined interior with new ergonomic seats, more sophisticated and elegant details and tons of utility technologies and systems.

Just some of the stuff, included in the standard equipment is 20-inch alloy wheels, Park Distance Control parking assistant, bi-xenon headlights, LED daytime running lights, LED licence plate lightning, LED-illuminated side sills and many more.
